Clinial Hypnotherapy & Individual Psychotherapeutic Counselling*

This is a double session of two hours where we will look at why you smoke and what you believe the benefits of stopping smoking are. We will look at what effect smoking has on the body, how we can use this to help you stop smoking and then we will do guided relaxation and hypnosis where you listen to my voice to put those positive messages into your sub-conscious mind to stop you smoking once and for all. You will then leave as a non-smoker.

Hypnotherapy is great way to reduce the feeling of anxiousness. This is because you are gently guided through a progressive muscle relaxation into hypnosis. The symptoms of anxiety such as palpitations will begin to disperse because you are relaxing your mind and body. After discussing with you in your assessment what makes you feel anxious, I will then use this information to help reduce your fears by tapping into your subconscious mind and making the changes that you want to make. 

Hypnotherapy can help you control overwhelming feelings of stress by helping your body remember what it is like to feel relaxed. Often we become overly stressed in our busy lives, and although some stress is healthy and motivating, an unhealthy level of stress is detrimental to our health. My clients often report feeling significantly less stressed after just one session. The great thing about hypnotherapy is that the effects of hypnosis lasts days, weeks and often months after treatment.  

Anger is a completely natural reaction which carries large amounts of energy and it is this energy which needs to be expressed. Everyone expresses emotions in different ways. Hypnotherapy can help you understand your anger in a non-judgmental space. I offer a completely safe and confidential place for you to express how you feel, and the deep relaxation in hypnosis can also help you find ways to relax and help you work through your anger by taking time to concentrate on you and what you need. 

Hypnotherapy most importantly helps you take control of your eating by replacing negative habits with healthy habits. It is like reprogramming your mind, and if motivation is a difficulty for you, hypnosis helps you subconsciously visualise your goal, keeping you energised and positive. I also offer in between sessions support where you can contact me should you need that little bit extra motivation to get you through to the next session. I am determined that you will reach your goal.

Whether short term or long term the symptoms of depression are similar, but the severity of symptoms can differ from person to person. Hypnotherapy is a good way to help you to regulate and take control some of the emotion discomfort you feel. The one thing that the deep relaxation in hypnosis does is to allow the body to repair and rejuvenate. In hypnosis emotions become calmer, like turning down the intensity dial and as a consequence the mind becomes. This enables you to feel more in control.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can be a constant battle coping with stomach cramps, having an upset stomach and feeling as though leaving the house is not an option. Hypnotherapy can help significantly reduce the symptoms of IBS by reducing the feelings of anxiousness. After a session of hypnosis clients feel they gain control over their IBS and this consequently reduces their symptoms even more. Hypnotherapy can also help you find the root cause of your IBS by looking at stress factors. 

Teeth grinding is a very unpleasant symptom of anxiety. Teeth grinding can cause a lot of discomfort and pain as well as expensive dental treatments. Hypnotherapy can significantly reduce teeth grinding and the consequent pain and discomfort that teeth grinding brings. Progressive muscle relaxation and hypnosis helps not only to find the root cause of this problem but to help the whole body relax, thus reducing the the aching, discomfort and sometimes pain of teeth grinding. 

I will help you learn relaxation techniques, basic meditation and guide you into hypnosis so that you can use these techniques in your own time and feel more in control as a consequence. Feeling in control will increase your confidence and self-esteem, helping you to pass your driving test with less nerves and anxiety. Research shows that imagining being in that scenario can significantly reduce your fear of that situation. You will feel safe and comfortable as I help you control your nerves.

Feeling stressed and anxious is very common before exams. Often just the word exam is enough to increase anxiety, but there is a way of controlling these feelings. Hypnosis can help you take back control over how you revise, approach the coming weeks before your exam/s and also help you feel more comfortable by being more relaxed on the day. Yes, this is possible! I will help you learn relaxation techniques, basic meditation coupled with guiding you into hypnosis for a more relaxed you. 

Hypnotherapy is a wonderful way of getting in touch with yourself by taking time out to listen to what your body needs. As you learn to relax, you will feel more in control, thus increasing yourself confidence and self-esteem because you are reminding yourself that you can relax. I will tap into your sub-conscious mind through hypnosis to give you positive messages about yourself and how you can achieve your goals. You will be able to strive to achieve what you set your mind to. 

Fibromyalgia discomfort, including fatigue and all over body pain, can be relieved through hypnosis. I have seen peoples discomfort significantly improve through deep relaxation and positive suggestion. I will guide you into hypnosis to talk to your sub-conscious mind and I will deliver messages of comfort and control over the pain that you feel. This will reduce your pain by you controlling your mind to directly take control of your pain, this eases discomfort and helps to reduce fatigue. 

Use hypnosis to let go of any unwanted phobia so you can get on with doing the things you want to do. Fears of heights, spiders, needles or flying for example can be disabling and debilitating. You can feel free again and back in control of what you want to do just by listening to my voice in hypnosis.  

Young people are incredibly susceptible to hypnosis. Hypnotherapy encourages young people to be as relaxed and as open as they feel comfortable with. This allows time to explore what may be troubling them, and with hypnosis I use visualisation to understand their difficulties. There is no expectation and no judgement for young people to have to do anything when they come to see me. We just take it one step at a time, in a way that is comfortable to them.   

Ideal for those who just want to try Progressive Muscles Relaxation, Visualisation and Hypnosis before making any commitment to an assessment and full hypnotherapy sessions. 

You will be invited for an assessment prior to your hypnotherapy treatment so that we can put together a treatment plan that suits your needs.  

Each hypnotherapy session is part of your treatment. I will gently guide you into hypnosis where I will make changes to your subconscious mind using positive suggestion. You will feel very relaxed after hypnosis to which you can feel the effects over the next 2-3 days. 

If you would like your child to try hypnotherapy for the first time, a taster session is the best way. I will help your child relax by asking them to tell me a few things about themselves, and generally get to know them before I take them through some guided relaxation into hypnosis. As hypnosis is all about imagination, children often find this easy to do. This is why children are very susceptible to hypnosis. 

In the first instance you and your child will be invited for an assessment. At an assessment we will discuss your child's needs and I will explain how hypnotherapy can help your child. We can then put together a treatment plan depending on your child's needs. All treatment will be discussed with you and not put into place without your consent. 

I will gently guide your child into hypnosis where I will facilitate your child to use their imagination. This allows your child to be in hypnosis and feel in control of their own thoughts. Your child will be relaxed and well cared for during each session. It is usually best for parents not to be present during treatment to avoid distraction.
